Thank you.
I was just in the middle of writing a response, complaining as usual 
that I cannot find the things I am looking for ...
When I found it!!!
Merry Christmas!

It is under:
Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> System -> Hardware => "Toggle Touchpad state"

I reassigned the shortcut ... and it works just fine!
A Christmas present that makes me "outrageously happy" (to speak with 
Linus van Pelt).

I wish everybody else, they may find something that makes them equally 
happy!
